Default Just for fun! Mart's 100E pt 57. No Clutch. Brakes failed. Fancy a drive?

For those that have been following the repairs on the 100E. It was last used over 40 years ago. In part 57 of this epic saga: The motor runs. The clutch is stuck. The brakes have failed. Will I ever get the old 100E back out on the public road?
I Hope you enjoy this offering. Don't forget: Keep it real! Keep it cheap!

Way to go Mart! Can't believe the car Gods decided to unstick the clutch while you were pondering pulling the engine. Nice to get a blessing once in awhile!

I have had a similar experience with a stuck clutch. Let the engine run until it is fully warmed up, then start the engine with the transmission in high gear with the clutch down and brakes held got it un-stuck.
